devel/electron38: Update to 38.7.2
While here:
- switch to use USE_ELECTRON features of electron.mk for specifying
node package manager, pre-fetching necessary node modules, and
extracting the node modules into appropriate directories
- use USES=display for starting/stopping display server on testing
- specify TEST_ENV instead of listing env vars in test target

devel/electron{34,36,37,38}: Fix build when rust is not installed in time
VAR!= gets expanded on the first make invocation and because rust is a
build dependency, it might not be installed at that time, so getting
the version of rustc was erratic.
Use gn to get the version instead.
